Battle Line - A two-player card game that brings to life the historical battles of Alexander the Great

Battle Line is a strategic card game set on the battlefields of ancient Macedonia, where players engage in intense, tactical battles. This two-player masterpiece by Reiner Knizia can be played in just 30 minutes. Its simple yet deep strategic gameplay is captivating for players aged 14 and up.

◆ A tactical battle that condenses elements of ancient strategy

In Battle Line, players face each other on a front line of nine flags. To win, players must capture five of the nine flags or three adjacent flags. The battle for each flag is determined by a "formation," which is a poker-like hand of three cards placed on each side of a flag.
Use various formations, such as straight flush, three of a kind, straight, and flush, to gain an advantage in the battle. The side that can build the most powerful formation will be able to capture that flag. The path to victory lies in deploying more strategic and superior formations on your own front lines.

◆A rich card configuration that recreates historical elements and tactics

The game includes 60 beautifully rendered, full-color cards depicting the major military units of ancient times, including war elephants, heavy cavalry, and the phalanx, all of which are iconic forces from the time of Alexander the Great.
It also includes 10 Tactics "Wild Cards" that add even more tactical depth, giving players flexibility and a wealth of options. These cards make each battle unique, providing an endless strategic gaming experience.

◆Evolution of Schotten-Totten

Battle Line is a re-imagining of the game Schotten-Totten by Reiner Knizia. It features new graphics and wooden flags instead of border stone cards. The gameplay is fundamentally the same as Schotten-Totten, but with some improvements:

• Card numbers 1-10 (1-9 in Schotten-Totten)
• 7 cards in hand (6 cards in Schotten-Totten)
• You can select the stone (flag) acquisition rules as an "Advanced Variant"
• Introduction of Tactics Cards (later adopted in newer editions of Schotten-Totten)

Battle Line enhances and expands this game system, giving players more tactical options and tough decisions to make.

Deep strategy and a wealth of options

Players take on the role of commander of the greatest troops of the era, and every turn requires crucial decisions. With each card played, players must decide the strength and direction of their attacks, while also considering defensive measures to thwart the enemy's advance.
Whether you use your war elephants to break through enemy lines, send Alexander the Great himself to the front lines, dispatch Companion Cavalry (elite troops), or use spies to assess your enemy's strengths and weaknesses - you always have many options.
